Prototype

Voiced by Amazon Polly

Here is the initial prototype. I made a button box with some cheap buttons and a USB Jostick/button controller. Hooked it up to the PC (still in its standard housing), with the computer monitor as the Backglass/DMD and the TV (connected via HDMI) as the Playfield.

Using the Baller_installer setup programme (courtesy of Nailbuster), I then loaded the emulators and my first table – AC/DC.

I was impressed. Even with the components laid out on boxes and using the sound from the TV, the table worked perfectly and was amazingly engaging. My mind was made up. Time to build the real thing.
